Project Accessible Hollywood
Ongoing advances in digital technology promise to swing open the storytelling doors to all who step through. But many are afraid, or simply lack the skills to take that step. Even though we are surrounded by technology, many of us are still uncomfortable making full use of what this new media has to offer. Others could be left behind due to economic factors. Project Accessible Hollywood (PAH) seeks to educate people and communities on using simple digital media while encouraging them to express themselves artistically. Some of the best stories have been shared around a campfire or at the kitchen table. Today, technology has helped bring people from across town to across the oceans, to sit at the same virtual campfire. PAH will protect the spirit of storytelling, while bringing it into the 21st century.
11pm - 2am
